Subject: GESO: My Chevy for the Times
A couple of weeks back I mentioned that I had shot a car at the GM Design Center.
The car was my ''55 Chevy BelAir Convertible, and i shot it for this Sunday's NY
Times. The article that the pics accompany is a test drive of my car and a tribute
to '55 Chevies by Car& Driver editor, Tony Swan. It's all part of a Chey
100th anniversary package. Here's a gallery of some of the pics I shot and jpegs of
the Times pagea:

I had to do a lot of backlight work to get the GM Design Center in the pics,
because the only place to shoot was on the north side of the building. But it
worked out well with some reflectors and flash fill.
The article is on the web as well if anyone is interested. Swan did a nice job:

I also wrote a short and somewhat tongue-in-cheek piece about buying the car
eleven years ago:
